Nitrogen does not *displace* oxygen (O2 weighs more than N2).

This sort of technical thread too easily turns into a ****ing contest,
I realise.
So when I say nitrogen displaces oxygen, do tell me what happens when
I introduce a nitrogen generator of 300 cu ft /min into a closed room
of 1000 cu ft.
The nitrogen displaces the room atmosphere does it not?
(Whether the prior atmosphere in question is all oxygen, all hydrogen,
all helium, all whatever...)


OK?
